Besides our own boys, Ruben hired thirty-five more fellows to pour concrete. It had taken quite a while to prepare. (That's why it did not happen last Saturday.) Dad was up at 4:00 and as usual made a big pot of coffee. Everyone had bread along with prayer before starting the big task. It was a long day and everyone was very tired at the end of the day--Dad went over before 6:00am and did not return until after 6:00pm. This is not anything I would like to see him do again. Appreciate your prayers!
Tuesday, 19:
Three of our older fellows went to Pignon to pick up the musical instruments we had been waiting for. Another long day since the road is not the greatest. We were happy to see them come in with the boxes full of different kinds of instruments.
Wednesday, 20:
All the younger children except the babies (their time will come, you know how that goes!) went on an outing, since next week they‘ll be starting school, along with some of our "grandchildren. They went to the beach. It always takes a day of preparation, clothing--matching shirts of course--making sandwiches, baking cookies, drinks, packing up balls and frisbees.
Thursday 21:
This was the day at the beach for the teens. This was the first time we did not not go along. John, who has studied for the ministry, held devotion for them, with highlights on Purity and Holiness that they had studied with the pastor’s wife from Michigan. They all had a great day bathing and playing in the Caribbean.
Friday 22:
Dad and the Kids cleaned up the yard. Then they prepared for the film to be shown in the evening. The DVD was "Lespwa" (Hope) and was in Creole, brought by a friend that came with a team. It was very well done.
Some of the youth walked up and down our street singing and inviting everyone to the Revival Meetings that will start Easter Sunday going through May 1.
Saturday 23, AM:
Enock had called me several times in the night, but my phone was charging in the other room and I did not hear it right away. He could not urinate and was really suffering, not only from that but he had shingles too. He is the one that has MS. I did some calling around, getting ahole of Cileomen (one I had delivered 38 years ago-- her father worked for Dad way back when….now a nurse in the hospital and has helped Dad and myself many times). Eric picked her up around 4:00am. What a girl! She catherized him and then gave him an IV. He was not drinking. Throughout the day the older girls would keep me informed--once Talante came. Later Rosina said his breathing was shallow. I went out to the dorm, knelt down beside him. Eric had already gone to pick up Cileomen. I tried to find a pulse. N O N E. No one could believe it. While they were locating the family, Ruben and Tchweebbee came with Pastor Steve Saintus to hold the revival in the Tabernacle. It was good to see him but there just were not any words as we walked back over to the house (Steve broke the silence, “I have never seen so many stars in one place”) to eat the meal Rode had prepared. After they were all settled in the Guest House, the car came to pick up the body. One thing we know for sure--he does not have to rely on someone to push him around in a wheel chair or help him with him daily needs. I can just see him walking and dancing before the Throne of God! Tears seem to choke me up thinking about little incidents. He will certainly be missed. He was such a great help to Rachelle for the school--he had a desk in the office and kept track of many important things for us. AND TOMORROW IS EASTER SUNDAY!
SUNDAY 24
May I say we had a great Day in the morning and evening Services! Duckenson was able to come for one day only. We were so blessed as he was there to lead the Praise and Worship services. Pastor Steve Preached down Holy Ghost fire. People were saved, healed and delivered of many things. The rest of the week we are believing for greater things to happen in the Lord. Praise God!
Please keep uplifting us in your prayers.
Blessings, Blessing, Blessings,
Don & Doris
